The result of the move request was: material from Similarweb and SimilarGroup cut-and-paste moved incorrectly to SimilarWeb by the nominator. Rather than attempt a messy histmerge, I will put attribution on the talk page of the new article, despite it being a recreation of an article that was previously deleted as a result of a deletion discussion.

Similarweb → SimilarWeb – Page should be renamed as far as SimilarWeb Ltd. itself uses this type of inscription of it's company name as we can see it from the company logo. Therefore readers would be able to recognize the company instantly and be sure that they got on the right page. Moreover existing SimilarWeb page is empty and has redirection to the current page. Google also shows you the company name it the format mentioned above: https://www.google.co.il/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=similarweb Cohentom ( talk) 05:09, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hope I'm doing it right now - Can you please set the intro to fit the one before the editing?: Similarweb is a digital intelligence solution provider for enterprise and small to mid-sized business (SMB) customers. The platform provides web analytics services for businesses. The company offers its customers information on their clients' and competitors' web traffic volumes, referral sources which include keyword analysis and demographics, and website "stickiness" (e.g., time on site, page views, bounce rate), as well as other features. It extrapolates data from a panel of web users who allow the monitoring of their internet activity, combined with direct observations for a subset of internet properties, such as websites' own traffic statistics. In 2019, it claimed to have the world's largest panel, with hundreds of millions users. [1] This was the published version here until earlier today (+ the 1st sentence).

Alexa Internet shut down on 1 May 2021...and SimilarWeb's IPO was 12 days later. This isn't worth mentioning??? 142.181.93.182 ( talk) 17:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

This topic came up on Talk:GunBroker.com, and merits further discussion by the community at large, given the large number of pages that could be affected (to date, 166 pages). It is not my intention to engage in Wikipedia:Edit warring, but to work toward Achieving consensus.
User:Lightoil stated on 4 May 2023 that "Similarweb may be used if it is considered a reliable source."
On 24 August 2023, User:Spintendo implemented a COI edit request to cite Similarweb web traffic data.
On 26 September 2023, User:Graywalls removed the cited data and maintains that "Similarweb.com is not really a data source. [...] Similarweb is just a data aggregation."
Graywall and I have not been able to reach consensus on this matter, so it seems opening up the topic is warranted.
Should Similarweb be cited to report web traffic rankings on Wikipedia?
Similarweb is used to report rankings all over Wikipedia, most notably the entire List of most-visited websites page, which relies solely on Similarweb as the source.
There are at least 165 other Wikipedia pages (to date) relating to website traffic for entities like Facebook, Weather Underground (weather service), WebMD, and numerous international entities. Other notable pages using these metrics include List of most popular Android apps, List of employment websites (which sorts the data based on Similarweb traffic rank), and List of online video platforms, to name a few.
The question is whether or not Similarweb rankings are a valid source, as it is common practice to use them as an exclusive source on Wikipedia pages (as evidenced by the above links and articles). Since data from sources like Alexa Internet has been discontinued, I'm at a loss to find other secondary sources for website traffic data that could be used on any pages. I would welcome other reliable secondary sources if any could be provided. LoVeloDogs ( talk) 21:03, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
